Structures of peptide agonists for human protease activated receptor 2
چکیده انگلیسی
Protease activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is an unusual G-protein coupled receptor in being self-activated, after pruning of the N-terminus by serine proteases like trypsin and tryptase. Short synthetic peptides corresponding to the newly exposed N-terminal hexapeptide sequence also activate PAR2 on immunoinflammatory, cancer and many normal cell types. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy were used here to search for structural clues to activating mechanisms of the hexapeptide agonists SLIGRL (rat), SLIGKV (human) and the peptidomimetic analogue, 2-furoyl-LIGRLO. Either with a free or acetyl capped N-terminus, these agonist peptides display significant propensity in aprotic (DMSO) or lipidic (water-SDS) solvents for turn-like conformations, which are predicted to be receptor-binding conformations in the transmembrane or loops region of PAR2. These motifs may be valuable for the design of small molecule PAR2 agonists and antagonists as prospective new drugs for regulating inflammatory and proliferative diseases.
